Chinatown
Bangkok, Thailand
There are two famous Chinese-Thai restaurants in Thailand known for their fresh seafood and dining al fresco. They are nicknamed Red and Green Seafood and are literally across the street from one another. The red restaurant (waiters wear red shirts) is formally named Lek & Rut Seafood; the green restaurant (waiters wear green shirts) shown here is formally named T&K Seafood. Both serve up similar menus and both are wildly popular.

Already a local hotspot, this place was made even more famous by the movie Hangover II. (Sorry for low quality photo. I made this handheld on the sly with a Nikon D90 as cameras and tripods were not permitted.)

Chao Phraya River
Bangkok, Thailand
The belief in spirits is serious in Thailand and garlands and scarfs adorning the bow of boats are in honor of the spirits of the water and Mae Yanang the spiritual goddess of journeys.

...and this is one of them. Honestly, I misplaced the name for this most authentic market. Not a single tourist to be seen on this day, only locals. I do have its name written somewhere but until I find it, it will remain a secret.
